there is static power consumptions which you will always have, the more gates the FPGA has the higher this will be but then there is the dynamic power consumptions which happens when transistors are switching e.g. capitances are charged / discharged and inductance at higher frequencies etc. ...

Thats the inside of the earlier stand alone version, I somehow doubt they made big changes to the design

Too bad the keyboard is fake, I would have buyed it instantly otherwise even if it was not really useable But even if I find that case quite sexy the asking price of 80 € I saw is way to high for my taste (also still got a working C64 ...) - still tempted to scout for defective units on Ebay in...

There is actually only one reason to ever cancel crowd funding ... license problems or other legal troubles Because you could still keep the money and never produce any working hardware as long as you tried xD What bothers me a whole lot more by now than missing hardware is the missing...

woah I hope thats not really their idea of a competative price for something like that ... for that amount of cash people will expect PS4 capabilities from it

need got nothing to do with that :p never rationalize a hobby ;)

had a google around and I think this one is hard to beat in size, power and staying low cost : https://www.raspberrypi-spy.co.uk/2017/03/amplified-voice-changer-using-a-raspberry-pi-zero/ - RaspberryPi Zero W (WLan) - USB soundcard - speaker(with amplifier or use an external amplifier) +...

forget about rolling your own electronic circuit ... doing that will require some serious time investemnt to even get near anything "nice" sounding with tons of stuff to watch out for, also if you want it to be tuneable and flexible you will end up with a very big circuit ... unless you have a...

nah I do not have an OMAP5 board handy or can look into the future :) but that was not my point ;) yeah anything has a processor and runs some kind of OS these days ... even my lightbulbs do the modem chips themselves are running their own OS...

there is a difference between may not be available / gets added quickly if available and it's available but no update planned at all ;) Microsoft got fed up btw. and will include microcode loaders and distribute updates into Windows now and I am not surehow to feel about that xD modern CPUs...

on a slightly related note, last bios update for the GPD Pocket is from August last year and they do not seem to plan an update to fix Spectre ... so I personally would not trust them with that kind of money again

I have one of these on a glassdoor : https://shop.pimoroni.de/products/octocam-pi-zero-w-project-kit work quite well until my WLAN desyncs with it ... crappy WLAN reception where it is also you could put one of these in it ...

that reminds me of this one : http://ledpixelart.com/

thats a very nice board but the pricepoint of 300€ and the way they "overwrite" the electrical signals from the original cpu made me cringe o_O its probably safe to do and will work just fine ... old modchips used to do the same but I prefer the C64 Ultimate idea of a complete new system board...

are we there yet ? are we there yet ? are we there yet ? xD

those are in bytes (kilo bytes actually) processed per second - higher is better and yes openssl speed runs single core only (else the xeons would have smoked my laptop easily) another thing to consider would be when CPUs will go into speed throttling e.g. Intel CPUs tend to cheat by using...

FPGAs are versatile as they can build logic on demand but this comes at the price of requiering more elements than dedicated logic itself does ... more elements draw more power so a FPGA running the same logic as a dedicated chip will run hotter and use more power which makes them a bad choice...

I had a look around for an easy method to compare cpu + memory speed only openssl speed sha512 @Askarus could you run this on your machines please ? sha512 because it is 64bit and hash functions typically are not accelerated in hardware because they need complexity / runtime to make...

finally found it again: https://www.pidramble.com/wiki/benchmarks/microsd-cards has done some benchmarks for Raspberry Pi and SD Card speeds and even provides the steps he has taken to measure it I would like my Pyra silent and backdoor free please xD

doing a quick lookup : https://www.cpubenchmark.net/compare.php?cmp[]=2448&cmp[]=955 should be factor 4 not 2 so your build system probably has a lot of file activity going on which slows down the results also the sdcard interface on a Raspberry (even the 3 one) is quite slow we are used to...
